Done!

We’ve had a couple of cancellations, so Yves and Paige are in.

Reminder that if you've said you're coming, but can no longer make it, please let me or tinyrodent know!

Do you happen to know which by-law they claim is being violated? I'm interested, but not enough to call the city for more information on the file. :) A cursory search shows there are a number of special provisions in the zoning by-law that prohibit arcades (defined as 3 or more amusement devices), s...

Done!

Because we now have a waitlist, if there is anyone who is currently on the list who can't make it, please let me or tinyrodent know ASAP so we can move down the waitlist.

So it's something you shut down manually? May I suggest you keep it open over the Thanksgiving weekend then? Give people a chance to show they are grateful for a few more days.

Maybe I can host November but I only have 3 games. Good to hear from you, Guy! We already have someone lined up for November, but maybe later on in the season? Three machines might make it interesting, but we can probably come up with a format that could work. Those are some great games. :) Note to...

House of TARG is hosting a 2018 OTTAWA PINBALL & GAMEROOM SHOW STRIKES BACK!! Benefit on Wednesday, October 17th and the O-Town Throwdown will take place then as well. Due to the change of venue and shorter time frame, the format is going to be a little different. This time we'll be doing as man...

I talked to Stacey of the Geek Market. Josh is going to send them a list of the VIPs who didn't request a refund and they'll use that.

I'll reach out to Stacey and report back with more info.

For those of you not on Facebook, the Ottawa Geek Market (being held at the Nepean Sportsplex this weekend) will be honouring the OPGS VIP passes as weekend passes for their event.

Now that I've had a bit of time to process this weekend, I just wanted to express my immense gratitude to everyone who supported the tournament, even though it didn't happen. We had seven games set up (with two more on site) and (almost) ready to go as soon as power came back, volunteers on stand-by...

Yeah, I remain hopeful that we can still run a kickass tournament tomorrow in addition to the show. I've cancelled today's qualifying and will post a revised format when I have one.

Don't give up hope!

*groan* You're not funny, semicolin.

I've been posting updates to the tournament Facebook page , but realized not everyone has access to that. I just got to reliable service, so still haven't read through the other threads, but I'll try to respond to comments about the tournament there as required. However, it would make things easily ...

I very much appreciate the offer, Colin, but Mike has one on a stand he can lend me, which is perfect. Still on the lookout for a laptop or something I can connect to the TV to broadcast the webpage. Thanks!

Does anyone have a TV and laptop I could borrow for the tournament to display the standings and queues? Please send me a PM, if so. Thanks!

Anyone who is planning to play in the tournament can save some time with registration by sending me a message to pre-register before Wednesday night. Just include a 4-digit PIN that you'll use to log into the software and your full name. I'll send you your player number and the link to the website. ...
